"Degraded"

I currently have a 20TB RAID 1 array in Windows Server 2019. Is it possible to create a degarded RAID 5 array with only 2 disks? If so, I could do so, copy my 20G data over from a new backup disk, Add that disk to the array and let it rebuild, effectively converting my 2 disk RAID 1 to a 3 disk RAID 5 with only the purchase of 1 disk.
